Just had the TT serviced at a very well regarded independent.

Has 84k on the clock, drinks a little oil but within acceptable levels.

Just noticed that they put in 10w-60 Mobil 1 Extended Life which isnt a viscosity recommended by Porsche.

Did a few forum searches and threads seem to descend into slanging matches / no real conclusion that helps settle my mind.

Thoughts appreciated.....

Yes had read that Opi article and also seen quite a few quality Indis using 10-60.

On balance I am not worried about using 10-60 until next service but will ask them to move back to recommended by porsche range at next service unless there is some logic I am not aware of.

Cheers for comments.
